Dual Spec Changes

More news from the blues! This time, blue poster Zarhym has announced (inadvertently?) some changes to the dual-spec system.

Characters level 40 and up may now use the dual-spec system.

The cost to activate the ability is .

The ability no longer requires a Lexicon of Power.

Switching specs has a 5-second cast time. It may not be used in combat, or in battlegrounds or arenas.

There is no cooldown on switching specs.

Good news for casual players, or those looking to do instances while leveling up! The original text of the posts, and links to the sources, are after the break.

That's a week PER TOON of extra farming... not to mention if I was to save already for epic flyers for all toons... and say I have 10 toons... that's TEN WEEKS of WORK for something that should be FUN.

Dual specialization isn't something everyone needs. It's a perk we're adding into the game, and it's initially going to require an investment. If you can't afford dual specializations for 10 different characters, you might not actually need all 10 of your characters to be able to swap between two specializations on a whim.

With a single 5-second, out of combat cast, players level 40 or higher will instantly be able to swap between two different talent specializations, glyph sets, and action bar set-ups from virtually anywhere in the world.

That kind of convenience and versatility shouldn't be obtained with absolute triviality.

So scribes will no longer need to my a lexicon(sp?) of power to swap specs anymore? What is the requirement then, it just happens?

You literally just click a button, and after a 5 second cast, your specializations, glyphs, and action bars swap. You must be out of combat, and it still cannot be used in battlegrounds or arenas. There is currently no cooldown on the ability to swap specializations though.

If you actually believe 1000g is too much, then you seriously fail at this game and you should consider yourself a n00b.

Just because some people don't have very much money doesn't mean they are noobs (Not that I mind about the cost, I'm fine with it)If you can't come up with a way to make money, you are noob
